August 18, 2007A fun comedy with a dimwitted rich lady leading a troop of girlscouts through the wilderness of Beverly Hills, and then into the wild itself. The comic situations depicted are successful.

May 21, 2007Not a bad comedy with Shelley Long as a stinking-rich Beverly Hills housewife takes her daughter's troop of obnoxious girl guides off on a caring, sharing trip.

July 12, 2011Shelley Long was once tolerable on 'Cheers' because there were a lot of funny characters around to help her (and because of of the whole being replaced by Kirstie Alley thing); well, she certainly doesn't have that luck in here. Long, like the movie she is in, is very annoying.

September 25, 2010Wow. This is not the best movie but it's such a fun silly movie. I love the rivalry between Mrs. Nefler and and Velda.

October 12, 2009Wow, such bad reviews for this film! It's not that bad. It's mindless fun, Shelley Long is very well cast and I found the film amusing. It is predictable but still fun to watch.

...the film eventually does wear out its welcome due primarily to its wildly uneven structure and Jeff Kanew's ostentatiously '80s directorial choices. Full Review

She left Cheers for this?!?

Troop Beverly Hills is a fizzled farce...lightweight and inconsequential to boot. Clearly, it's about as comically crunchy as a box of smashed girl scout cookies

Todd R. Ramlow, PopMatters
It's a treat (and necessity) not only for youngish gay boys, but for anyone who enjoys campy good fun with the added bonus of watching dominant cultural values self-destruct. Full Review
